Posted by papabilly on 8/27/2013 2:41:00 AM (view original):, it was moore then the draft, I lost a brother on 7-9-2013, about the time were making bets on me. In march I had pneumonia. May I had open hart surgery.
I still stayed and did the best I could. it was not up to your standerds was it crazy..as far as quiting most of the owners wanted me out just did not have the balls to saY IT
so you **** on me every time you could it makes you fell good that I left
ASK CONTRA why he kick me out and when

I've lost family members too since I started at WIS, and I've had health problems, so I'm going to call BS on you, papabilly. If something in real life happened that prevented me from continuing with a league, I wouldn't pick random fights with commishes and other owners over non-issues just to get out of a league. I know how you left contrarian's league, I know how you left the Jimmy Carter league, and I know how you left chargingryno's league (I'm sure there are more). None of those had to do with anything other than your personality.

Too bad papabilly got my initial post deleted over one name that I called him (not even in any way vulgar or obscene). So that people can follow along, I called out papabilly for quitting the Jimmy Carter prog in the 7th round of the 2002 draft when he got confused (or feigned confusion -- we'll never know) over how timed drafts work. Now he's saying it's not the 7th round backup catcher that made him quit but various tribulations he's endured over the past few months.

"ASK CONTRA why he kick me out and when"

Shouldn't you be the one asking him? I remember why and when contrarian booted you; you posted you have no memory of ever being in one of his leagues. Aren't you even a little bit curious over why and when you got booted from a prog?

"as far as quiting most of the owners wanted me out just did not have the balls to saY IT"

Why would most of the owners in any league ever want someone out? Try to imagine some possible answers to that question, papabilly...

Posted by papabilly on 8/27/2013 1:54:00 PM (view original): Just be every careful what you say. All that happen me to was in 14 weeks. I am also 73.
I don't know is wrong with you but there is something wrong. Why you are in such craz over this. are you short on your man hood

Thanks for addressing all the questions over why you can't get along in prog leagues. I guess we're done here.

I'll respond to your question by borrowing a quote from you, papabilly. This is the sitemail (in its entirety) that you sent to the Jimmy Carter commish after he very politely and patiently explained to you why your 7th round pick was invalid:

While I sympathize with the loss of your brother and your health issues papabilly, lets keep an accurate timeline. Everything you laid out on the previous page was from July 9th and prior. The Jimmy Carter draft didn't start until approximately August 6. You posted your question about the #1 pick on 8/15 and made the pick on 8/18. That's over a month. Again, I sympathize with your loss, but don't use that as your reason for bailing

Since Im catching up on this papabilly thing. I was wondering is their any way to get off of the wall of shame. I was placed on the wall about three years ago over a couple disastrous trades Ive made. However since then I think Ive proven to be a valuable league member with the exception of another expansion league I had joined which in retrospect I never should have.

I can vouch for blues322. He took over a team for an owner who disappeared on me during the inaugural draft of my 1885/1915 BOBL Progressive, and has been a faithful and active owner ever since. We're currently working thru the draft for season #8. Turnover every season has been quick and smooth, and blues has never done anything that held us up or caused any problems.

Most of the guys in the league are top-notch guys, and I'd include blues322 in that group.

He has left the WESPL with no warning. But my first assumption when an owner suddenly drops out of a lot of leagues with no mention is that something in real life has happened. If he's currently active on the site and has stiffed all of these leagues, that's one thing, and worthy of Wall of Shame mention.

If he's just no longer here, we need to give the guy the benefit of the doubt until we know what happened.
